IFAD, Rome, Italy, Government of Uganda
The increase in large-scale land based investments (LSLBI) in recent years has put land rights
issues and responsible agricultural investment more visibly back on the global development agenda. While the topic has attracted a lot of attention internationally, access to reliable data on the phenomenon of LSLBI has been a major challenge in the debate on their actual impact on
rural people. This paper highlights the issues that affect the sourcing and reporting of LSLBI.
After providing this framework, the study intends to analyse the reporting of a project supported
by IFAD - the Vegetable Oil Development Project” (VODP) in Uganda - to analyse the
dynamics behind the reporting system of international organizations, NGO's, media and online platforms.
